Blockaded on enemy territory: your first Diplomatic status with other factions in game will be the "cold war". This means you will be able to travel in their territory or influence zone without declaring war or an open border. Your enemy, or yourself, will be able to blockade any ship entering their, or your own, territory. You will have to go to the Diplomacy panel and request an open border/peace/war to be able to move your fleet stuck in some enemy territory.

Wormholes: you need "Applied Casimir Effect" technology to travel through these wormholes.

On a PC

Steam attempts to install everytime: inside the game folder located in Steam (Steam/Steamapps/Common/Endlessspace), you need to delete the .vdf files.

Game Won't Start - CTD (Crash to Desktop): Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 is not properly installed on your system. To insure that it is, you need to first uninstall your existing 2010 VC++ Redist from the Windows Control Panel. Once this is done, you need to go to the following location: .../steam/steamapps/common/endless space/componentsThen, use the “vcredist_x86.exe” you find to reinstall that component. It is important that you restart your computer.

No menu after the logo screens: make sure your firewall adds Endless Space as an exception. If you are using Comodo, make sure you have enabled “Game Mode”.

Video issues: try launching the game with the Steam command "-novideo" (right click on the game > Properties > Set Launch Options).

RAPTR client: some players found they could not run the two programs at the same time, without getting a crash. Temporarily disabling it should do the trick.

De-synchronisation: You may observe from time to time synchronisation issues. Please note that our team is working on fixing those issues, step by step. We can however advise you to save and re-host from time to time:

VPN programs: Many players have reported that the Hamachi freeware VPN server interferes with multiplayer. If you are running Hamachi, please temporarily try uninstalling it.

Firewall and NAT - Steam ports: Try opening a few ports: please check out this link.

Steam voice chat: Some players have reported that using the Steam voice chat feature during a MP game caused several desynchronisation issues. It seems to interfere with the game.
